The Enemy have announced their first new album in 10 years.
The Coventry trio - made up of frontman an multi-instrumentalist Tom Clarke, bassist Andy Hopkins and drummer Liam Watts - will release Social Disguises on 20th February 2026 with the first taste of the record Not Going Your Way coming next Friday (31st October).
The record, which will mark the band's first studio album in a decade since 2015's It's Automatic, is available to pre-order here.
Speaking of the band's fifth release, Tom Clarke said: "We tried to make this album in the same frame of mind that we made our first, as though we were making the follow-up to it."
He added: "It took a year to write, around 90 demos, and another year in the studio. I’m very proud of it. We all are. Whatever success it does or doesn’t enjoy I feel like we all succeeded in making a great record we can be proud of forever."
